Abstract:		 Planning permission and listed building consent were granted by Bedford Borough Council for development at 51 High Street, Roxton, Bedfordshire. A condition requiring a programme of archaeological observation and historic building recording was attached to the planning permission. Archaeological monitoring of the groundworks with the potential to impact on archaeological remains took place Two areas were observed: Area 1 in the south of the plot and Area 2 in the north of the plot, near to the existing dwelling. The earliest evidence for past human activity was St Neots ware pottery, dated to the c. 10th to early 12th centuries, recovered as residual material from the fills of later pits and ditches. No definite features dating from this period were identified. However, the pottery is likely to indicate the presence of settlement activity close to the site at this time. The earliest features were ditches and pits in Area 2, which produced early medieval pottery (12th to 13th centuries) and small amounts of animal bone. Two north-south aligned ditches formed a boundary parallel to the present High Street; they could have defined a house plot or a croft. However, given the small area that was uncovered and the modest finds assemblage it is difficult to characterise activity on the site with certainty.
